I asked him, and that's what he said. I didn't think to ask him if he would still be head of it. He was just very reassuring that its work would be going forward just as before. He didn't announce this to the whole cruise, but I'm sure it must be known by now or he wouldn't have said it.
He is going to be given light parish service so that he can continue his work with Priests for Life. Maggie Gallagher spoke, about the root of all our problems being those who don't believe in having absolute moral values. Norma McCorvey gave a lovely informal talk about how she got from being Jane Roe to where she is now, a committed Christian and a worker in the pro-life cause. Chris Slattery also spoke and told of the financial straits the organization is in right now. He introduced his wife, Eileen, and the directors of the five crisis-pregnancy centers.
Excellent news on Fr. Pavone.
Wish I could have been there to hear them.
